Graham Smith

Graham Smith is a niche developer whose catalog currently revolves around a single, sharply focused system utility: iotop-w. True to its name, the program brings the familiar Linux iotop concept to Windows, parsing live disk-I/O counters and rendering them as an interactive, color-coded terminal dashboard. Administrators who need to pinpoint which process is saturating the storage subsystem launch the tool inside PowerShell or CMD and immediately see per-process read/write throughput, cumulative bytes, and the length of the I/O queue. The display updates every second, making it easy to correlate disk spikes with user actions, background services, or malware. Typical use cases include troubleshooting sluggish SQL servers, verifying that nightly backups are actually progressing, and confirming that SSDs are not being worn down by surprise indexing jobs. Because the utility is lightweight and unsigned-driver-free, it runs on everything from Windows 7 rigs to current Server 2022 boxes without installation; just unzip and execute. Although the portfolio is intentionally narrow, the author maintains steady releases that refine column sorting, add CSV export, and keep pace with Windows 10/11 console API changes, so the executable remains dependable across feature updates. Graham Smith’s software is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are sourced from trusted Windows package providers such as winget, always deliver the newest build, and can be queued for batch installation alongside other tools.
